Is it true that a 7 year Flex guy went to Net Jets?

marquis is the same as any other owner. They sit in the back. Problem is marquis is like renting a car vs owning it. Owners tend to understand that someone else will be using the plane when they are done. Marquis well....

I have heard of a few cases where senior Flex Captains have been given their walking papers after only a minor infraction of the SOP's, etc.

Can it be Flex tries to keep the "fat cat" Captains from decreasing their bottom line? Less expensive to upgrade a F/O and pay em less than to keep these 7-10 year Captains?

PS all three of these Captains were less than a month from recurrent training...HHmmm

What the hell do you care? If the #1 guy at Delta or whatever wants to quit to go fly a dam-n 1900 at Great Lakes, that's his business and his decision. STFU and mind you own dam-n affairs.

Don't have a fit, fella. I was simply stating this as it is a surprize that FJ management is continuing to allow this situation to go on. You might need to give yourself a hand in order to relax a little. Don't forget the complimentary hand lotion.:uzi:

Flex management has known this was comming for years, in fact they created this mess by telling folks that worked there "don't you worry whatever happpens over at NJA we will take care of you". They knew then that they were not going to do any such thing and now the day of reckoning for that policy is here. Remember Flex is run by former commuter airline guys and commuter airlines and long term employees are not generally used in the same sentence unless the words do not have are between them. In my opinion I belive that Flex management belives that pilots are like engines... run em out and replace em.

Kudos to this guy for having more sac than just about anyone around. The fact that someone would leave is the ultimate litmus test for the current state of affairs at FlexJet. Too many broken promises, too little employee appreciation, same old schedule, diminishing benefits, downsizing crew meals.... he's not a genius, he's just plane old smart.

Say what you will....

I left Flex for NJA.

I like it much better at NJA.

Please don't sit at Flex and tell me how stupid I am, you can never know because you haven't done it.

This conversation never goes anywhere. I am happy you are happy at Flex. I have alot of buddies there. To all my buddies at Flex, Merry Christmas, I'm alive and well at NJA.

To Answer your question.

Is this true? I can't believe it!!! I'm not sure how to react to this!

Yes.
He is still here now. But will be leaving soon. A 7 year Flex guy. Good Capt. in the 60.. He will be missed.

Maybe when the company gets sold off things will improve. What's the writing on the wall say about that?
